Your Gold Cup Semifinals Open Thread

It's Miércoles Gigante for los aficionados al fútbol in Houston tonight. First up, at 7 p.m., are the Americans who will try to avenge their June 11 upset loss to Panama. (They will.) Then, around 10 p.m., Mexico and Honduras will do battle for the right to advance to Saturday's Gold Cup finals match. (Mexico will.)

By the looks of things on the DirecTV listings, US/Panama coverage started at 6:30 p.m. on Fox Soccer Channel. So, the game should be kicking off right about the time this post goes live. Mexico/Honduras coverage starts on Univision at 10 p.m. I highly recommend listening to the match in Spanish.

USA. USA.
